LORD, FORGIVE THEM...

For these young women obviously don't know what they are doing when they go out in public dressed like hookers. The other day I went out shopping for shoes and I almost went apoplectic when I saw the way a certain young woman was dressed. I will not recount the details but needless to say I have never seen a young woman dressed this badly - she left nothing to the imagination. I literally struggled physically inside me everytime I caught sight of her in the store. What to do?? First I looked upon her and her friend with contempt, I had no mercy for them whatsoever. All I could do was try to think of ways in which I could go up to her and tell her how skankily she was dressed. I was wondering what the other patrons were thinking of her. But when I left the store I couldn't get this girl out of my thoughts. And then God convicted me of my pride and conceit. For it wasn't so long ago that I was just like her. No, no, I never dressed like that but I was just as blind. I was just as guilty before God. For about 13 years ago I was running around looking for some person, or some profession or some substance to fill the empty hole which was my soul. And for some reason, the Lord saw fit to take this sinner and draw her to Himself. To mercifully tear off those scales and show me my sin and grant me salvation by His Son. So after I saw the truth of who I used to be and how that wasn't much different compared to this girl, I repented and lifted up a prayer for this young woman's soul.

How do all of you handle these situations? You know, sometimes there are young women in our church that are dressed like hookers. How do we pray, what do we do??
